Posted May 25, 2016.

If you want a strong and healthy smile that prevents tooth decay and other major dental issues, then our Boutique Dental, P.C. team recommends doing your best to receive enough fluoride each day. Fluoride in Glendale, New York, is a beneficial mineral that strengthens and nourishes your teeth, giving them the ability to survive. So, to help you receive the right amount of fluoride, Dr. Yelena Mullakandova and our team recommend doing the following things:

-Take advantage of fluoride dental treatment: When you come into our office for a teeth cleaning, make sure to take advantage of our professional fluoride treatment. It will generally come in the form of a foam, gel, or varnish and it will give you a strong and healthy smile.

-Use fluoride toothpaste: It’s best to brush your teeth every morning and every night with fluoride toothpaste. That way your teeth are nourished frequently.

-Drink fluoridated water: You can find fluoridated water in specific bottled waters and in your kitchen tap. Usually, cities provide fluoridated water for your convenience and health.

-Use fluoride mouthwash: If you rinse your mouth daily with fluoride mouthwash, your smile will be deeply cleaned and strengthened.

-Eat foods that contain fluoride: There are some foods you can consume that will help you increase your fluoride intake each day. Those foods are pickles, spinach, tomatoes, and carrots. For additional food tips, please talk to your dentist.
